Bad Brown!

If you are a politically exposed person, double check you do not still have a microphone on your person before bad-mouthing a constituent.

The prime minster of Briton Gordon Brown said a woman was a bigot who asked him a question about how Briton is supposed to support the huge number of immigrants. He acted all nice and conciliatory in public while he was in front of the cameras. Then, after getting in a car he called her a bigot for questioning immigration policy.. She even said that you just cant talk about immigration. Her concern was around the deficit and how tax payers are supposed to pay for all these people who are using services and not contributing.

You are not a bigot by questioning immigration policy immigration. You are not recast when you say that people should work for a living if they are capable. You are not a racist if you think that people who have come to your country illegally should be held accountable for their actions. You are not a racist if you believe the laws and rules about borders of your country should be enforced.

The terms bigot and racist are over used and misused. They have become a way to yell “shut up!” and actually have people shut up. They have become the end of an argument. If someone disagrees with you and presents any argument, just link it to racism in some loos way and you win the argument. This needs to stop.

There are racists in the world. They may now hide behind the deluge of accusations. Real racism is now hidden from view. It is obfuscated from arguments. The real evil is lurking in plane sight behind childish laziness to prove a point in a manor that requires support of an argument.

Brown is just a fuckup. It seems like every five minutes he is stepping on someone's toes or pissing off the family of a dead soldier with a poorly spelled letter of consolation.
